Interview Questions That Reveal A Candidate's True Nature - RecruitHUB
The interview is the most critical step in the hiring process. The more you can learn about a candidate in the interview, the easier it is for the recruiter and the hiring manager to determine if the person will be successful in the role. Critical elements like personality, aptitude and skill sets need to be deeply evaluated to ensure the person will be able to integrate into the team and leverage their talents effectively. How do we get this critical information? By asking questions that reveal the candidate’s true nature.
